Wash. Post's Weisman: "How about Obama blowing up the Sears Tower! ... (Just kidding, folks.)"
During the September 21 "Post Politics Hour" discussion on washingtonpost.com, a reader asked Washington Post congressional correspondent Jonathan Weisman what "could really shake up either of the presidential primary races between now and January," adding: "I'm not talking about Osama blowing up the Sears Tower or 1,000 GIs being killed in Iraq next month but regularly scheduled events or ... things within the campaigns' control." Weisman began his response by stating: "How about Obama blowing up the Sears Tower! I never liked that building anyway. (Just kidding, folks.)."

Another reader later brought up Weisman's Obama reference, writing: "Um, did you really just joke about Obama blowing up the Sears Tower, or were you thinking Osama, but wrote Obama? Either way, not funny." Weisman responded: "I apologize."
